Certorhynchus trimaculatus occurs in Europe and northern Africa (Bolt et al. The effects of prescribed fire on C. pycnocephalus also need investigation. <<
Mapping weeds and rare plants to inform management and conservation in the Zaca and Jesusita fires. Seed dispersal by water and on animals and machinery is less important (Parsons 1973). Larvae of Rhinocyllus conicus feed within the flowerheads of C. pycnocephalus, mining the receptacle and destroying the developing achenes (Goeden 1974, 1978). Sixteen edible plants from Southern Italy were evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative properties, using the sulforodamine B (SRB) assay, on four human cancer cell lines: breast cancer MCF-7, prostate cancer LNCaP, amelanotic melanoma C32 and renal adenocarcinoma ACHN. The brown seeds do not usually dehisce from the seedheads, and this may be important in the establishment of these seeds in the seedbed litter (Evans et al. Calflora, a 501c3 non-profit - 1700 Shattuck Avenue #198, Berkeley, CA 94709 - 510 883-3148 It is foliar absorbed and translocated, making it effective in destroying the roots. Several recent studies (Kok 1980, Trumble and Kok 1980a, 1980b) have shown that the weevil Rhinocyllus conicus is not adversely affected by field applications of 2,4-D. Italian thistle (Carduus pycnocephalus subsp. The areas are then heavily grazed with sheep at more than twice the normal stocking rate. (415) 435-6465. In the U.S. it is found in only a few parts of Texas and Arkansas but is rapidly spreading and "out of control" in most of California (Dunn 1976). macrocephalus (Desf.) In high fertility situations, using a roller to compact the soil is recommended during seedbed preparation (but not during seed sowing). Its inability to reproduce vegetatively makes control easier, but constant monitoring will be necessary due to its potentially long seed dormancy (to 8 years). C. pycnocephalus apparently arrived in California during the 1930s (Goeden 1974). Generally it does poorly on the surface of a bare seedbed, but on the surface of clay soils it shows 70% germination. Optimum conditions for rust infection (18 to 20 C, 90 to 100% relative humidity) are likely to occur in autumn, in regions with a Mediterranean climate. This is partly due to its germination requirements and timing. Since it is a nonselective herbicide, it must be carefully applied. Carduus pycnocephalus was one of the first weeds selected for biological control study by the USDA (Schroeder 1980). Ornano L, Venditti A, Donno Y, Sanna C, Ballero M, Bianco A. Nat Prod Res. In southern Europe, all major parts of C. pycnocephalus plants are damaged by one or more insect species, whereas in southern California the thistles are relatively free of insect damage. A variety of herbicides have been used on C. pycnocephalus, but they give only temporary control (Wheatley and Collett 1981). A great deal of research has been conducted on Carduus species throughout the world, but much more needs to be done on Carduus pycnocephalus. Disclaimer. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Stem: 2--20 dm, glabrous or slightly woolly, narrowly spiny-winged. 9PA$R-T8K3!"m8!NFC 8Lfyp4Mk^.nau]boY@f1!($4F &h4.L1=T]eC[,`9ZCxh2 intermedius - C. p . Though some Carduus species are known to accumulate nitrates in toxic quantities, C. pycnocephalus has apparently not been incriminated as a toxic weed (Goeden 1974). [8][12][13], Grazing by sheep or goats (not cattle) in Australia has showed promise as well.[14]. 1979). At a depth of 0.5-2.0 cm germination is highest, but some seeds germinate to a depth of 8 cm (Evans et al. (415) 435-6465. Chemicals such as Picloram and 2,4-D may be of some use in controlling the weed, but an integrated management program involving a combination of techniques will prove most effective. Is this Weed Toxic? Phenolic Composition of Inflorescences of Carduus nutans L. Intra-specific variation in the little-known Mediterranean plant Ptilostemon casabonae (L.) Greuter analysed through phytochemical and biomolecular markers. One drawback is its long persistence in the soil, up to 18 months. Additionally, the root must be severed at least 4 inches (10cm) below the ground to prevent the plant from regenerating. Seeds buried 1.3 cm deep show the highest percentage emergence, whereas 20 to 25% of seeds buried 5 to 10 cm deep remain dormant. 2,4-D does not affect grasses. The brown seeds do not usually dehisce from the seedheads, and this may be important in the establishment of these seeds in the seedbed litter (Evans et al. The adults are foliage feeders, but more importantly the larvae mine crowns of rosettes and tips of expanding and expanded shoots, blasting the latter, and thus reduce the production of flowerheads. Spraying oil on thistle will be effective only if entire plants are coated. 1979). Cone sprayers produce greater atomization of the chemicals and increase the chance of drift into unwanted areas. 1979). The greatest diurnal fluctuation that supported optimum germination was 10 C for 16 hours and 35 C for 8 hours in each 24-hour period. Ants may also play a role in dispersing the seeds (Uphof 1942). Carduus pycnocephalus Common Names: Italian thistle Evaluated on: 5/22/04 List committee review date: 08/07/2005 Re-evaluation date: Evaluator (s) John J. Knapp/ Invasive Plant Program Manager Catalina Island Conservancy P.O. 2,4-D has been applied to C. pycnocephalus with limited success (Taylor 1977). The herbicidal use of oils depends on their chemical and physical properties. This has proven most effective during the spring and early summer. ); U.S. National Park Service: Invasive Non-Native Plants in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks Italian Thistle, Invasive Plants of Californias Wildlands. 1979). 2,4-D is available in ester, amine, emulsifiable acid, and low volatile ester formulations. Common names Italian plumeless thistle in . In field situations, the added hardship of intra- and interspecific competition may cause a greater effect on thistle populations. Repeated greenhouse inoculations of the rust on growing rosettes signif- icantly reduced the growth of C. pycnocephalus but not the number of florets (Oliveri 1984). Cauline leaves are tomentose on the underside and contain spines on the lobe tips. Cultivation before seed production will eventually eliminate thistles, but only if repeated for several years. C. pycnocephalus seeds exhibit polymorphism, with brown seeds that have less mucilage and germinate at lower temperatures than silver seeds. Identification and characterization of major flavonoids and caffeoylquinic acids in three Compositae plants by LC/DAD-APCI/MS. 1982 . They are left ungrazed until the pasture has reached a height of 10-15 cm (about 6 to 10 weeks). Ants may also play a role in dispersing the seeds (Uphof 1942). Careers. All three species are unknown as artichoke or safflower pests, apparently only reproduce on Cadruinae, cause injury to vital plant parts at a critical growth stage of their host-plant (and thus appear capable of influencing the reproductive potential of C. pycnocephalus), and occur over a relatively wide geographic area. The seeds germinate at a wide variety of constant and alternating temperatures. Epub 2022 Jan 27. The brown seeds do not usually dehisce from the seedheads, and this may be important in the establishment of these seeds in the seedbed litter (Evans et al. (eds. The plant has become an introduced species in other regions, and on other continents, often becoming a noxious weed or invasive species. High pH (6.5) also favors growth (Bendall 1975). According to Wheatley and Collett (1981), hand-hoeing is effective for small patches, but make sure to sever the root a good 10 cm below ground level.
It prefers soils of high fertility, and its seedlings establish best on bare or disturbed sites (Wheatley 1971, Parsons 1973). Note: This information is based on publications available through Tropicos and may not represent the entire distribution. C. pycnocephalus germinates at temperature and moisture regimes and in seedbed environments which would inhibit the germination of the alien annual grass species that presently dominate California grasslands. Box 2739 Avalon, CA 90704 (310) 510-1299 jknapp@catalinaconservancy.org Joseph DiTomaso University of California-Davis 2,4-D ester should be applied when the thistles have a central stock height of no greater than 0.25 m (Wheatley and Collett 1981). According to Goeden (1974), C. pycnocephalus serves as an alternative food-plant or breeding host to a diversity of phytophagous insects, most of which are euryphagous, ectophagous, sap- or foliage-feeding species. Carduus pycnocephalus can be distinguished from other thistle species by its relatively small and few terminal flowerheads and narrow phyllaries with copious tiny, firm, forward-pointing hairs, especially on the midrib (Hitchcock and Cronquist 1973). However, according to Charles Turner (1985) of the USDA Biocontrol Lab in Albany, California, it is possible that these insects may also prey on several of the endangered native thistles in the genus CIRSIUM. According to Goeden (1974), C. pycnocephalus serves as an alternative food-plant or breeding host to a diversity of phytophagous insects, most of which are euryphagous, ectophagous, sap- or foliage-feeding species. Fl. In the U.S. it is found in only a few parts of Texas and Arkansas but is rapidly spreading and "out of control" in most of California (Dunn 1976). Italian Plumeless-thistle - Italian plumeless thistle. However, caution must be exercised when using these products, and their use is not always appropriate, especially near water surfaces and other sensitive natural habitats. Prior to using any herbicide, check with the County Agricultural Commissioner to determine which chemicals are legal to use in a given situation. subsp. 2,4-D is available in ester, amine, emulsifiable acid, and low volatile ester formulations. Seeds of C. pycnocephalus exhibit rapid germination (within 2 weeks) at optimum temperatures (Evans et al. Even with freezing temperatures during the daily cold period, germination was optimum if warm-period temperatures were from 5 to 20 C (Evans et al. Please see WAC 16-752 for more information on the quarantine list. Drought favors a rapid increase in the thistle population. Due to the similarities of the two species, there may be more Turkish thistle near to where it has already been found that was misidentified as Italian thistle (Porter Epub 2015 Sep 1. %PDF-1.2
